Siren Audio has announced the release of new versions of Feedback and Generative, standalone applications for creating drones, textures and loops.

Two of the three applications in the 2011 Lorelei suite, the updated Generative and Feedback applications “retain the same core ideas of generating drone and loop based audio material via delays and granular synthesis,” the developers say, but give much more control to the user over how the sound is created.Continue reading →

Utami has released a new Max For Live plug-in, Space Time, which is a spectral effect suite.

Space Time is a spectral effect suite with a built-in visualizer. The suite works to create spectral reverb, ambiance, noise, time distortions, and a wide range of effects that can be played in real time. It has a unique filter system which Utami calls a synesthetic filter which works by converting the sound internally to a picture, and then applying Photoshop-style image filters to it before converting it back to a sound again.Continue reading →

Klevgränd Produktion has introduced a new audio effect that they describe as ‘a hybrid between a simple reverb and a very complex delay.’

R0Verb consists of up to 50 separate delay lines, and puts you in charge of every single delay with controls for volume, pre-delay, feedback & high shelf. It can be used for everything from simple delays to complex spaces.

Glitchmachines has introduced Convex – a multi-effects processor, for Mac or Windows, designed for the creation of contorted artifacts, syncopated patterns and skewed digital textures.

Based around three classic effects; multimode filter, pitch shifter and delay, Convex generates dynamic variations of the input signal by morphing between two instances of each effect and modulating their key parameters using an extensive array of control modules. Continue reading →

something to think about

The orchestral composer is open to all the problems and conceits of the architect, liable to be trapped in a form that is inherently nonimprovisational, nonempirical. I shouldn’t be so absurdly doctrinaire, but I have to say that I wouldn’t give a rat’s ass if I never heard another piece of such music. It provides almost nothing useful for me.— Brian Eno
